33.Dt ENA 4
34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm ena
37.Nd "FreeBSD kernel driver for Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) family"
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39To compile this driver into the kernel,
40place the following line in the
41kernel configuration file:
42.Bd -ragged -offset indent
43.Cd "device ena"
44.Ed
45.Pp
46Alternatively, to load the driver as a
47module at boot time, place the following line in
48.Xr loader.conf 5 :
49.Bd -literal -offset indent
50if_ena_load="YES"
51.Ed
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The ENA is a networking interface designed to make good use of modern CPU
54features and system architectures.
55.Pp
56The ENA device exposes a lightweight management interface with a
57minimal set of memory mapped registers and extendable command set
58through an Admin Queue.
59.Pp
60The driver supports a range of ENA devices, is link-speed independent
61(i.e., the same driver is used for 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, etc.), and has
62a negotiated and extendable feature set.
63.Pp
64Some ENA devices support SR-IOV.
65This driver is used for both the SR-IOV Physical Function (PF) and Virtual
66Function (VF) devices.
67.Pp
68The ENA devices enable high speed and low overhead network traffic
69processing by providing multiple Tx/Rx queue pairs (the maximum number
70is advertised by the device via the Admin Queue), a dedicated MSI-X
71interrupt vector per Tx/Rx queue pair, and CPU cacheline optimized
72data placement.
73.Pp
74The
75.Nm
76driver supports industry standard TCP/IP offload features such
77as checksum offload and TCP transmit segmentation offload (TSO).
78Receive-side scaling (RSS) is supported for multi-core scaling.
79.Pp
80The
81.Nm
82driver and its corresponding devices implement health
83monitoring mechanisms such as watchdog, enabling the device and driver
84to recover in a manner transparent to the application, as well as
85debug logs.
86.Pp
87Some of the ENA devices support a working mode called Low-latency
88Queue (LLQ), which saves several more microseconds.
89This feature will be implemented for driver in future releases.
